Myanmar Junta Airstrikes Kill 60 Civilians in a Week

Myanmar junta airstrikes killed more than 60 civilians in six regions and states since January 8 as regime boss Min Aung Hlaing called for peace talks.

Most of the 13 towns targeted are controlled by resistance groups, the Kachin Independence Army (KIA), Arakan Army (AA) and Ta’ang National Liberation Army or are being fought over.

Casualties were highest on Ramree Island in Rakhine State, which is controlled by the AA, and in Tanai and Hpakant towns in Kachin State, which the KIA controls.
